EB2-NIW Policy Alert Jan 21, 2022

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The policy alert defines a USCIS attempt to attract and make the process somewhat easier for STEM individuals to immigrate to the US. It has traditionally been easier for a NIW case to be approved where there is an employer. USCIS appears to have softened on the need where STEM people are concerned. For a more comprehensive look at your case, you should consult with an immigration lawyer who can look over your background and discuss your options including NIW.

Shall my wife apply for citizenship naturalization after a shoplifting charge?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The answer depends upon your wife's tolerance for rejection. A denial would not prevent her from filing in December 2021. There is a chance that she may be denied as the question of good moral character is discretionary and may depend upon the interviewing officer. She has a good argument to make if it can be shown that the postpartum depression was a large factor in the shoplifting incident. However, she should be prepared to take the risk of rejection if she decides to go forward.
